This has a draft readme...

The roadmap I have in mind:

1. Minimal first version with:
   • profile management
   • basic contact management (adding with a hash)
   • targeted sharing (notification and download)
   • no encryption (because hopefully I build the first version fast and ipfs won't have time to catch up)
   • probably not a proper download tracking (details here: Keystore/encryption/ipfs usecase for a file-sharing application ipfs/kubo#3866 (comment))
   • basic 1 to 1 chat (not really a priority but it actually helps me to test ipfs's pubsub and the rest is not that difficult)

After that there is (in no particular order):

• encryption (high priority)
• public sharing and contact following (kind of like twitter)
• contact suggestion and privacy settings
• contact groups
• profile "migration" with notification of contacts
• contact block for abuse
• reliable and efficient download tracking
• mobile version using react native
• mitigation strategy (maintaining your contacts files online because you like them)
• better chat (offline, history, group chat, encryption ...) maybe using orbit.chat
• fancy share's content visualization (for instance, for pictures with a slideshow or carousel)
• ability to close the main windows while still having the app running + system tray icon with stats
• re-share
• better share description, maybe with markdown ?
• on-demand custom app packaging with a first contact for extra-simple onboarding
• internationalization
• reception confirmation

I fixed some things and resolved the conflict with master. It's merged now :)
